Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here it's sayin that Q is a point in between the end-points P & R. If we join P & R , it forms a line segment & Q is in the line segment PR. Hence PQ & QR are also line segments which combine to form line segment PR. So ,

PR = PQ + QR

Putting the given values of PQ ,QR & PR

=> 4x - 12 + 2x + 7 = 31

=> 6x - 5 = 31

=> 6x = 31 + 5

= 36

=> x = 36/6 = 6

An investor invests $2,500 into a mutual fund and earns 5.75% on the principle for each of three years. How much interest has ac

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Interest in 3 years = $456.52

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know the the formula of compound interest

Total amount = $A(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Here n = number of times amount is compounded

r = rate of interest

t = period

Here A = $2500

r = 0.0575

n = 1 (compounded annually)

t = 3 years

Therefore amount after 3 years

$P=2500(1+\frac{.0575}{1})^{3}$

P =2500(1.0575)³

= 2500×1.18

= $2956.52

We have to calculate the interest then

Interest = $2956.52-$2500 = $456.52

So after 3 years interest gained = $456.52
